Cossack

    I've always enjoyed the anachronism of Cossacks during WW2 , so I decided to be brave and do my first ever mounted figure. Started with Dragons excellent Don Cossacks re-shaped his torso slightly and added a modified Hornet head.
    Comments and advice are always welcomed.

    The horse looks a little funny, needs some more work to bring out the contours and shape. Also think the figure would fall of riding it like that

    Taking the above advice on-board, I've fleshed the horse out a little.

    Thanks.
    I have the Osprey one and their Axis cavalry book, both a good read.
    I've also found enough info and pictures to understand how the horse furniture goes together, Dragons instructions are so vague its not funny.

    Small update.
